"Another great feature is the periodical
opening days. At the commencement OF
each season grand opening OF new styles
is advertised, and the original Lisner does
what merchants generally condemu--he
offers the new and desirable styles at actual
cost price,"
From the "Republican" Of May 80:
"Such occasions are worthy Of record,
for the new styles are exhibited on a gigan-
tic scale. The souvenirs Of the Opening
this year are unusually attractive"
From the "star" Of May 2s:
"The established reputation Of Mr.. Lis
ner gives the assurance that the souvenirs
of the occasion will not be inferior to past
"opening Days."
From the "Republlcan" Of June L:
"The store was crowded yesterday, not

WHY THE DRUMlfERS GRUNBLE

WHY THE DRUMHERS GRUMBLE.
Everybody knows now that 8 drummer
tax, as levied by Texas and other states,
is unconstitutional. The recent decis-
ions of the United States Supreme court
affirming the illegally of such tax have
been read far and wide. In several states
the local laws that conflict with these de-
cisions have already been repealed, and
the drummer goes and comes untaXed
and unmolested. 1t is somewhat aston
ishing, then, to find that Texas, with
pertinacity that is inexplIcable, clings to
the drummer tax laws enacted years ago
and, so far as surface appearances go,
seems determined to enforce them as of
yore, regardless of what other states have
done or the decision of the United States
Supreme court. 1t is surprising, too, to
find the drummers who travel in Texas
raising money to pay the expense of q
test case TO determine the constitution
atty of law which the highest legal
tribunal in the land has declared I'M
constitutional. That is exactly what the
drummers are doing, however, and we
suppose the state will not yield a jOt or
little until the Texas Supreme Court
speaks. Indeed, the state or its officials
who are charged with the execution of the
laws cannot do anything else but enforce
the drummer tax until it IS declared by
judicial or legislative authority null and
void. The Twentieth Legislature, if it
had seen fit to do so, might have saved
all the delay, litigation and expense that
will now be necessary to secure deci-
sion and the abrogation of the law. The
Legislature was IN session when the
United States Supreme court passed
on this question, and legislators
must have known that the simplest
and cheapest way out OF the diff
Guilty was to repeal the drummer tax law.
Nobody could have supposed that in any
event the Supreme court of Texas would
render decision at variance with that
of the United States Supreme court. Yet,
with the common sense plan so plain and
patent, the Legislature chose to adjourn
without doing anything, leaving to the
courts the work of undoing the illegal
legislation. 1t is not at all wonderful
thst the drummers grumble and complain
at policy that subjects them to delays,

THE Louisiana executive committee of
the Prohibitionists having ordered mass
meetings at New Orleans, Alexandria and
Ruston, to consider the question of pro-
hibition, the Louisiana papers are dis
cussing the question that now seems to
engross more of public attention than any
other before the people. Of the discus
sion the New Orleans Picayune says
"The entire subject is one worthy the
prOfoundest consideration of philan-
thropists and statesmen, and should not
be treated in any crude or arbitrary man
ner. Above all, violent and coercive
methods will not win. They will stir up
opposition where it is most desirable to
gain the favor of the whole people for
measures that are claimed to be for the
general good"

WHEN this had occurred the natural conse-
guf nee would be an attack upon the Governor
by all the elements opposed to him. whe would
seek to fasten upon him the responsibility for
the unfortunate condi ion of affairs, although
1t had been &C asioned through no act of his,
but in spite of him. 1t is good thing for the
state that Go -ernor Ross is wiser than some of
his over jealous friends, and it is doubtful If
anybody realizes more fully than he does the
force of the suggestions presented by he News
and the extent of the danger that threatens
hi n.-lGalveston News.
1t is good thing for the state and the
Democratic party that Governor Ross is
wise enough to see through a trap that
was set with Swain bait and intended to
betray the executive into some active
attitude as democratic Governor" on
the prohibition question. The ailusion
to Swain was as ungenerous and IN
founded as the trap was uncomplimentsry
to Ross politicaliwisdom and fealty. No
amount of chicsnery can drag the Demo-
cratic party of Texas into this prohibition
fight.

crop prospects good. Although it has
stood the drouth well, the country needs
rain.
The fence cutters destroyed nearly two
miles of fencing on the farm of Mr.. Bud

The contractor for the Falls county
courthouse at Marlin is on the ground

A Mr.. Higgins of McGregor county was

finally rescued, but is in a critical condi-
ton.
The rains in the vicinity of Roanoke are
in time to help the wheat and the lowest
estimate Of the growing crop is from
eight to ten acres to the bushel. The
late freeze did some injury to the stand
of early corn.

THE advance movement in Texas is
well indicated by the forward step of its
newspapers. The Gainesville Register is
taking press dispatches, the Waco Exam
liner and the Paris Press have thrown off
the old folio form and are now handsome
quartos, Tyler is to have two dailes, where
before it had none, and Denison promises
to enter the field with a first class morn
ing daily. Towns and cities are judged
by their papers and the patronage of the
papers, as seen in their advertisements,
is taken by the world as reflex of the
business transacted in the town. A pa
per without advertisements is to the
world town without business or trade
advantages.

Mr.. CLEVELAND has not said he would
not under any circumstances be a candi-

time would be presumptuous in him and
in execrable taste. 1t is for the Demo
cratic party to say whether they want
Mr.. Cleveland or not, and when the party
indicates desire to have him stand for re-
election it will be time enough for him to
answer. The GAZETTE credits ell that

\ THE terrible mine disaster in savan-

IN THE terrible mine disaster in Savan-
ma, I. T., where so many lost their lives,
five of the number were Knights of
Pythias, who formed rescuing party
and willingly faced death to save, if pos
sible, thirteen of the brother knights from
a terrible death. All fell victims to the
noxious gases and the eighteen shared a
common fate. The lesson of fraternity
is not lost, but remains an exponent of
that love which is ever an evidence of
true knighthood. The facts of this Oc-
currence have been sent to Mr. Howard
Douglass at Cincinnati, supreme chancel-
lor of the order of Knights of Pythies,
and nc brighter record will be found
than the page whereon are written the
names of the noble five who persisted in
the attempt to save their brethren. And
this is the character of secret societies
that bigots and fanatics would drive from
existence.

THE people of this city should endorse
the view of Engineer King, viz: "It
Mr.. Storrie can give the city bond for
the performance of this work 1 would say
award him the contract, otherwise /
shall favor allowing Mr.. Okander to have
it. A check for $1,000 is too small an
amount to indemnify the city for the very
probable failure that would result by
awarding he work to the lowest bidder,
Mr.. Storrie." It's the solemn duty of
the city government to have all public
work done at the lowest rate possible,
but the public interests also demand that
the work shall not be let so cheap.y that
it cannot be done. If Mr.. Storrie can
make bond that will guarantee the city
in good work and prompt execution of it,
he should have the contract; otherwise
the next lowest bidder who guarantees
the work in good and sufficient bond
should have it.
